The Northern Charter

The Northern Charter The Northern Charter is a new space for contemporary art in Newcastle upon Tyne. We aim to create a unique discursive programme within Newcastle upon Tyne.

The Northern Charter is an artist-led organisation and we provide spaces for artists and art organisations to make, show and curate contemporary art. The Northern Charter is based in Commercial Union House in Newcastle city centre. We have created thirteen workspaces and a project space within this purpose built office building. The Northern Charter is developing a public programme of events that

will support and encourage thinking and talking about contemporary art. Our project space is a large and flexible creative space and will be used for performances, talks, screenings and other events. We will draw on the networks and interests of our members to create a programme that connects to other creative practices and places. The Northern Charter programme will be outward looking and ambitious. We will be a place for discussion, production and exchange. We will show art but will not present a programme of exhibitions. Our programme launches this Autumn and will include the 2012 Jarman Awards screening, in partnership with Circa Projects, and a performance lecture by Glasgow-based artist Stephen Sutcliffe.
